I absolutely understand being skeptical about something which sounds this good. The thing you need to remember is, *everyone* who now uses Isagenix was skeptical about it before they tried it. What you need to know is, Isagenix gives a full no-question 30-day return for refund if the program doesn't work for you. you do not need to get a hold of the person who referred you, just contact the company directly: simple, no-hassle refund. What other company on planet Earth does that?
My experience is I used to be 294lbs. I started with Southbeach absolutely religiously for 5 months, and got down to 245. I worked out 4 days a week and did not deviate at all from the eating plan. At 245 I hit a plateau, and could not lose any more weight. I am 6'3 and wanted to get down to 200-210. A friend told me about "this great cleanse that I had to try" and I laughed and said yeah right, I don't think so. I flatly refused to even look into it further, as the word "cleanse" just turned me right off. He believed in it so much that he bought the 9 day program for me, and it arrived on my doorstep. I work in the medical field and have a pretty good understanding of nutrition, so I told him I would do the 9 day program to prove to him that it would not work. I asked him if I had to exercise to have results and he said no, so I did the 9 day program (it's actually done over 11 days) without exercising. I followed it exactly as instructed, fully expecting it to fail and return it for the refund.
I lost 17.5lbs in 11 days.
Without exercising.
I was literally stunned. So, as we are all taught traditionally, if you lose weight quickly you will put it back on quickly, so I went back to eating as I had been, waiting for the lbs to come back on. Now, I didn't go back to eating junk, but back to Southbeach as I had been before. I gained 1lb back in the next week, sitting at 16.5lbs of maintained weight loss. Yes, some of what I lost was water weight, but when you learn about cleansing, you learn that our bodies carry excess water when we are toxic, as a way of trying to dilute those toxins inside us. So don't confuse losing water weight with dehydrating yourself... two different things entirely.
I ordered a 30 day program after that, and long story short I am now at my goal weight and where I want to be. People saw such a change in me in terms of increased energy, and of course the weight loss, that they asked what I was doing, and I passed the information on. As a result of that, I have now directly or indirectly been involved in helping people lose almost 1000lbs of maintained weight, last count was around 925 or so.
I'm not trying to sell you anything, I'm not leaving any contact information, and I have nothing to gain by posting this information other than to pass along something that has literally changed my life, and the lives of my friends and family when I shared this with them. All I would say is keep an open mind, do the research, and if weight loss is important to you, at least know that you can order this program at very little net cost, and have the full security of being able to return it for complete refund after the fact if it hasn't worked for you. The only reason Isagenix can do this is because it works for 95% of the people who use it properly, period.
This program is used by Jack Canfield, author or Chicken Soup For The Soul. This program is used by Dr. John Gray (Men Are From Mars etc). This program is used by Bill Mayer (sp?) one of Oprah Winfrey's personal trainers. This program is used by members of the Dallas Cowboys. These are not people who support or endorse whackjob fad diets. It is an extremely legitimate, scientific program based on very high quality nutrition, which you will find if you do the research on it, as I did.
Best of luck to everyone in their health and weight-loss efforts, whatever program you chose to use. If anyone has any further questions, if you want to post them here I'll do my best to answer them for you.
p.s. It is now 14 months since I started my weight loss, and 9 months since my first Isagenix cleanse. I am still at goal weight.
